The No. 6 Arizona men's basketball team led Utah by just three points at halftime before using its size advantage to pull away for an 82-64 victory.

Arizona guard Pelle Larsson, center, is squeezed between Utah guards Lazar Stefanovic, left, and Marco Anthony, right, while fighting through a pick in the first half of an NCAA college basketball game in Tucson, Ariz., Saturday, Jan. 15, 2022. Arizona forward Azuolas Tubelis shoots over Utah guard Lazar Stefanovic in the first half of an NCAA college basketball game in Tucson, Ariz., Saturday, Jan. 15, 2022.

Tubelis’ damage, a big part of the Wildcats’ 56 points in the paint, came as Utah was without its center, Branden Carlson, who underwent an appendectomy on Jan. 8. Lahat Thioune started in his place for the second straight game, finishing with 10 points and two boards, all of it coming after the outcome was no longer in doubt.

Playing in arguably the Pac-12′s toughest road environment, against an Arizona team that is among the leaders nationally in tempo, Utah was the one at the outset controlling how this game would be played.
